A cretan wildcat has been captured alive for the first time since 1996.

Hey Rob,

Very interesting and - from my distant position - a sign that the protection of the nature around the area of samaria gorge functions. Have the scientists and the veterinary found out if the cat is definitely a fourogatos by an DNA-Test? I could not translate the greek news precisely.

Greetings

Dennis

They are still waiting for the results of the blood sample and other tests but theyre almost certain its a Cretan wildcat.

Has there been any update since then, especially regarding the DNA? For me the cat on the video looks exactly like the common European wildcat

I have searched but not found any update online. Zarpanews and Chaniapost are among the websites we should check - but there doesn't seem to be an update yet....
Best wishes

Kalimera, die Hirten in der Levka Ori, berichten, dass sie die Wildkatze in der Nacht öfters hören.

In dem Faltblatt über den Samaria Nationalpark, steht, dass die Wildkatze im Samaria-Nationalpark lebt.

Wenn ich durch einsame Ecken und Schluchten von Kreta wandere, denke ich öfters, hier könnte eine Kretische Wildkatze leben...
